Luz spent the whole afternoon helping Amity. She had to watch Amity get frustrated with herself even though she was doing fine.
It was dark when they finally stopped practicing the confined space of Amity's room. Amity flopped into her bed.
"Do you think I'll be ok tomorrow?" Amity asked
"Of course. Does it scare you?" Amity shook her head
"No, but I don't want to be humiliated
Luz took a seat on the leather chair in the corner of the room and smiled
"Fearless champion" she said, proudly jabbing her thumb towards herself
"There's nothing you can do about it, Luz, just drop it"
"Want to get ice cream?"
"What?"
"I think you need ice cream," Luz grabbed Amity's hand pulling her off her bed "come on"
"How will ice cream help?" Was Amity's attempt at complaint, but it was too late. They were already out of the clubhouse and on their way to the cafe.
"Trust me"
"Oh I've heard that too often" Amity chuckled
Luz bought them ice cream when they arrived. It surprised Amity how quickly they ended up in the cafe with ice cream.
"Feel better?"
"Somehow, Yeah"
"Good" Luz stared into Amity's golden eyes. And with every passing second, Amity's face got redder and redder.
If it were any other day...
Amity noticed Boscha and Boscha most definitely noticed Amity as well. Luz didn't notice the intense staring going on between the two. Titan, she didn't even know Boscha was in the Café until she approached them.
"Amy, where've you been? I've been looking for you" Amity put down her cup of ice cream with a sad sigh. Of course the moment was ruined.
"I've been..." What lie, what untruth could she tell her that Boscha wouldn't pick up on? None. Boscha could tell when she lies.
"Are you searching for your new king or...queen" Boscha, hands in her pockets, wiggled her shoulders, looking beyond Amity to someone who stood behind her
"No—none of your business" Amity said
"I bet you could get them to go with you if you just tell them" Amity glared at her. Demoness—she smiled. A moment later, Boscha had grabbed something from Amity's jacket pocket.
"It's Halloween, Amy, take a chance—" Amity grabbed the paper but Boscha had an iron grip. They ended up playing tug-o-war. And the paper ripped and Amity's face fell.
"Ugh, whatever. Was just trying to help you" Boscha dropped the piece of paper, leaving with a sassy huff.
Luz walked over to check on Amity. Her head hung and her hand clasped the piece that she held, making a fist.
"Amity..." Luz took one look at Amity's distraught face then at the floor where the other piece laid.
Will you go to Grom with me?
Beautifully written. Simple yet cute.
"You're afraid of rejection" Amity turned away but Luz stopped her "Amity, if this person doesn't go with you, I will"
